Red Alert 1895: Chapter 733 Please seal the toast
When the vigorous elections for the council members at all levels have come out, and the councilors at the county level can still be elected by the local people themselves, this is something Wang Guorui can still allow. ??? `? However, if they hit the state capital level, then they cannot be allowed to vote by themselves. At the state capital level, Wang Guorui can operate many places. Because the congressmen at the state capital level are often not familiar with them, especially those congressmen are all famous and wealthy people.
But in China, those rich people are naturally very afraid of the government. Although they can supervise the government in name, they dare not act recklessly even if they have the guts to do so. They will not supervise the government unless it is absolutely necessary. They just hope to have this identity, so that they can act better in the future. And true democracy cannot be realized at present, after all, the common people in this era do not have the consciousness of being their own masters. If you give them this power rashly, it will inevitably make some thieves cheaper, allowing them to take the opportunity to steal power, and then split up.
As long as Wang Guorui sent someone to give a hint, those state-level congressmen would also recommend Wang Guorui and others with political backgrounds to serve as members of the central council. They are all from one's own side, at least those who are close to one's side, are all vested interests of Wang Guorui's group, and they will not oppose Wang Guorui's orders too much.
However, when the central founding election was in full swing, some people came to the capital immediately. And these people wore the costumes of many ethnic minorities, and then they came to the capital and directly organized a group to see the emperor Wang Guorui.
"Zhixian, what's going on in the office recently? Tong Wei has gone to raise a baby, and you have taken up the burden, is it okay?" Wang Guorui asked.
Jeon Ji Hyun immediately replied: "I'm just taking care of Empress Kang, and Empress Kang will come back in the future!"
Recently, Wang Guorui successfully made Kang Tongwei pregnant with a child according to the so-called "family planning" plan. About three days ago, Kang Tongwei announced that she was pregnant. And Wang Guorui also temporarily asked her to stop her duties in the office, so that she could go to raise her baby with peace of mind. And recently, Wang Guorui appointed Jun Zhixian to manage the office. After all, she is Wang Guorui's concubine and the most important secretary foreman. She is also the first deputy director of the general office, so it is definitely possible for her to be in charge temporarily.
But Quan Zhixian is very clear that although he can be in charge temporarily, it is absolutely impossible to really occupy this position. Because Kang Tongwei has been with Wang Guorui for many years, and developed from Taiwan to today with Wang Guorui. Jun Ji-hyun is nothing but a woman dedicated to Wang Guorui by the North Korean nobles. The relationship is not as close as Kang Tongwei. Therefore, Wang Guorui will not easily revoke Kang Tongwei's position as the chief of the office. She is just a concubine. It's like it's easy for a maid to become a concubine, but it's even more difficult for a concubine to become a regular wife. Jun Zhixian knew that the tallest in his life was the current head of the secretary bureau and the foreman of the inner circle secretary, and it was absolutely impossible to be taller. Because she has no one behind her to support her, and her relationship with Wang Guorui is not as good as those of the queens, so naturally she cannot be compared. Even if her actual status is actually higher than that of many queens, she will never be able to truly be the same as the queen.
As a very sensible woman, Jeon Ji Hyun would not casually have that kind of daydream. And Wang Guorui also valued her, he was very sensible and knew his own status. Absolutely will not be overstepped casually.
"What happened recently?" Wang Guorui asked.
"Your Majesty, according to the documents sent by the general office recently, it is said that the chieftains from Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places have come to the capital respectively, and then requested canonization. And they hope that the emperor can be canonized by them according to the usual practice, and then go back to continue to rule the local area .” Quan Zhixian said.
"Toast? Toast?" Wang Guorui suddenly said two words with very similar voices, and most people couldn't tell the difference.
But Jun Ji-hyun has been with Wang Guorui for a while, and she has also been exposed to some western culture, so she understands what Wang Guorui is talking about.
"Your Majesty, this chieftain is not that toast. This chieftain is a means of ruling by the imperial court over local minority areas. They appoint local leaders as hereditary officials, and then they are named as Tuzhifu, Tuzhixian and so on. Officials, these official positions were originally conferred on them by the Ming and Qing dynasties. Then they inherited these official positions from generation to generation and became a local emperor. They almost made laws by themselves, ruled the local people, and owned almost all the land in the area. , and then there are many slaves and so on.”
Jeon Ji Hyun is Wang Guorui's secretary. Naturally, he had to find out as soon as possible before Wang Guorui asked. As a secretary, of course, you must know that the leader cannot know everything. Before you report to the leader, you must do your homework. Otherwise, if the leader asks you and you don't understand anything, then you will be in trouble. Therefore, before Quan Zhixian came to report to Wang Guorui, he read some materials to some extent, and he dare not say that he understood everything, at least it was okay to understand it roughly. So she quickly reported all the information to Wang Guorui, and then Wang Guorui could make a careful judgment.
Wang Guorui immediately frowned when he heard this, because this is a local emperor who is completely independent from one side. If this kind of scale is large, it is completely a warlord. However, these local chieftains are self-governing, and each chieftain has little power and cannot threaten the court alone. However, it is also a fact that they separate one side and then own their own land and population. And there were many slaves, which made Wang Guorui very unhappy.
Others separatist and occupy the land, so Wang Guorui can understand to a certain extent. But owning slaves and practicing slavery are something Wang Guorui cannot tolerate. Let's start with slavery. How could Wang Guorui get used to it? Not to mention Wang Guorui, a later generation, even in ancient times, there were a few people who could understand this kind of **** behavior.
With the change of the economic system, the social economy has transformed from agriculture to industry. And industry needs a large number of laborers, and various industrial capitalists need a large number of people to work as workers. But those slave systems must be backward, because slavery is actually a kind of low productivity and cannot realize industrialization. If slavery is used, industrialization will never be achieved. Because it is impossible for those slave owners to operate those machines for those slaves. Those machines are extremely expensive. If they are allowed to operate by slaves, I am afraid that the slaves will maliciously damage those machines. This is also the reason why slavery will inevitably collapse when productivity and production tools have developed to a certain extent.
How did the American Civil War start? It's not that the economic models of the north and the south are different. The north advocates industry, while the south is still a plantation model. The factories in the north required a lot of human resources, but the south regarded slaves as important production materials and refused to let them go. So they were naturally going to fight, and in the end the North won, so slavery was successfully abolished. Although the status of black Americans is still not high in later generations, it is definitely much better than it was back then, at least much better than slaves back then, right?
"They want to get our title?" Wang Guorui sneered.
This guy is really dreaming! Will Wang Guorui allow such a separatist regime to exist? Not to mention that this kind of separatist forces are completely local emperors, and they are completely against the central dynasty, so can Wang Guorui tolerate them?
It is impossible for Wang Guorui to tolerate such people, so Wang Guorui will definitely do it.
"Your Majesty, of course, the governments of the Ming and Qing dynasties also did the same. The Ming and Qing dynasties also continued to carry out land reforms, so they gradually reduced the number of chieftains. And whenever there is an opportunity, the court They will find excuses to reform the land and return it to the local people, and then change those chieftains into official officials for management. Therefore, there are fewer and fewer chieftains, and it is almost difficult to increase. After all, everyone knows that this kind of chieftain is completely separatist and does not listen to the court. Scheduling people~www.mtlnovel.com~ So it is inevitable to reduce their power. They also came here in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and now they obviously hope that the emperor can continue to follow the rules of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Canonize them as officials and rule there for generations!" Quan Zhixian said.
"Since they still want to do this, then I will continue to reform the country to the end. How could I miss such a good opportunity?" Wang Guorui snorted coldly.
Since both the Ming and Qing dynasties knew that they wanted to change their lands and return them to the people, how could they not know? Therefore, this great cause of reforming the land and returning the natives must be carried out as soon as possible. The emergence of this kind of country within a country must absolutely not be tolerated, let alone the so-called land outside the country. This is something Wang Guorui cannot tolerate. This kind of country within a country has completely disappeared by the time of the new China in later generations, and will not continue to exist. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Wang Guorui to tolerate them doing this. Even if there is so-called regional ethnic autonomy in later generations, it does not mean that they can be inherited from generation to generation and do whatever they want. Ethnic regional autonomy, in fact, is also decided by the party committee. How can it be possible for them to completely self-govern?
"Since they came to the capital by themselves, don't blame me for being rude. You delivered this to your door yourself, and it saved me some work!" Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.)
